You Don't Believe

The speaker describes a relationship in which their choices and creative work seem to be controlled or reshaped by someone else. Although they claim ownership—of their decisions, songs, and fame—the other person appears to have the final say. The repeated observation that this person does not believe them adds hurt and frustration: the speaker feels both controlled and doubted.

Several contrasts show this imbalance. “My choice, but always your decision” sounds like a choice that is not truly free. The repeated pattern of “my” followed by “your” suggests that the speaker’s identity and achievements are entangled with the other person’s influence. The mirror and window images deepen this idea: a mirror reflects both people, while a window can suggest being seen through. “You see through me” may mean the other person understands the speaker deeply, or that the speaker feels exposed and unable to hide anything.

The lyrics can be read as a complaint about a controlling partner, but they also leave room for other kinds of close dependence, especially because they connect personal identity with songs, fame, and production. The speaker seems to recognize that the bond works in both directions: the other person has a hold on them, yet their faces are described as two sides of the same mirror. This makes the relationship feel intimate as well as unequal, rather than simply hostile.
